ABSTRACT
When working on a new project, researchers need to devote a significant amount of time and effort to surveying the relevant literature. This is required in order to gain expertise, evaluate the significance of their work and gain useful insights about a particular scientific domain. While necessary, relevant-work search is also a time-consuming and arduous process, requiring the continuous participation of the user. In this work, we introduce Sofia Search, a tool that fully automates the search and retrieval of the literature related to a topic. Given a seed of papers submitted by the user, Sofia Search searches the Web for candidate related papers, evaluates their relevance to the seed and downloads them for the user. The tool also provides modules for the evaluation and ranking of authors and papers, in the context of the retrieved papers. In the demo, we will demonstrate the functionality of our tool, by allowing users to use it via a simple and intuitive interface.

Identifying popular search goals behind search queries to improve web search ranking
AIRS'11: Proceedings of the 7th Asia conference on Information Retrieval TechnologyWeb users usually have a certain search goal before they submit a search query. However, many laypersons can't transform their search goals into suitable queries. Thus, understanding original search goals behind a query is very important for search ...
Meta-search: aggregating search engine results using rank-distance
SISAP '11: Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on SImilarity Search and APplicationsIn this demonstration, we present a meta-search engine based on rank-distance, which is a similarity measure between partial rankings. Our meta-search engine fetches results from four main search engines: Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com and combines ...
